Academic, Educational & Training Organisations are encouraged to seek accreditation for their educational and training programs as a measure of recognition by the Global Public Relations & Communications Professional Body.

Global Alliance for Public Relations and Communication Management (Global Alliance) conducts an Accreditation process which recognises individual diplomas, training programs, undergraduate and postgraduate degrees offered to students and professionals by Academic, Educational and Training Organisations and Public Relations and Communications Associations, where those programs meet the highest standards of education and training.
